Laboratories

Science educators have believed that the laboratory is an important means of instruction in science since late in the 19th century.

Maharishi Arvind School believes that we can achieve these objective through the use of the laboratory in education :

Skills - manipulative, inquiry, investigative, organizational, communicative

Concepts - for example, hypothesis, theoretical model, taxonomic category

Cognitive abilities - critical thinking, problem solving, application, analysis, synthesis

Understanding the nature of science - scientific enterprise, scientists and how they work, existence of a multiplicity of scientific methods, interrelationships between science and technology and among the various disciplines of science

Attitudes - for example, curiosity, interest, risk taking, objectivity, precision,confidence, perseverance, satisfaction, responsibility, consensus, collaboration, and liking science.

It is imperative to have the latest and high quality science lab supplies these days. Science is different from any other subject. In order to understand its concepts, one has to look beyond the books and conventional classroom teaching. Effective teaching and learning of science involves seeing, handling, and manipulating real objects and materials. The knowledge that kids attain in classrooms would be ineffectual unless they actually observe the process and understand the relationship between action and reaction.

Maharishi Arvind School has an excellent infrastructure and several laboratories like :

Chemistry Lab

Physics Lab

Zoology Lab

Botany Lab

Computer Lab
